Building on Windows

[mottosso]

Posting this here for future reference, as I was unsuccessful in building DICE for Windows at this time.

A few modifications were done to get this far,

1. qmake didn't correctly point to it's own bin directory, instead appended _opengl to the end of it. Assuming because it used to have this path in previous versions of Qt.
2. Both PyFOAM and VTK were not built and available, so I removed it from the .pro file.

More trouble

1. VTK depends on Open MPI 1.6, which is unsupported by MSVC2013, the latest supported version of Qt
2. OpenFOAM isn't available for Windows
3. OpenFOAM is a hard dependency, I got past it by mocking the whole package. Not sure of it's affect on the rest of the GUI.

Linux only

Running from Python directly uncovered a hard-coded dependency on OSX/Linux.
